She could be back.

Tea Party favorite Christine O’Donnell, who lost her bid for a seat in the Senate against Democrat Chris Coons in the tidal wave election of 2010, is now the center of speculation for another against him.

The Wilmington News Journalreports that the paper received an email that encouraged donations to her political action committee, ChristinePAC, after including a newspaper story about allegations that her federal tax records may have been improperly accessed by state tax investigators. 

She has yet to announce her plans for next year causing some Delaware republicans to wonder if that is causing other GOP hopefuls form entering the race.

Senate Minority Whip Greg Lavelle told the News Journal that if anyone is going to run for the seat in 2014 they must decide now.

At a special GOP convention last Saturday that elected Charles Copeland state chair O’Donnell said that she did not know when she might make a decision about a campaign.
